WHO SHOULD ATTEND
DBT Centre of Vancouver presents:
The New DBT Skills –
Part 1: Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance
PRESENTED BY: ALEX CHAPMAN, Ph.D.
JOHN WAGNER, Ph.D.
This workshop is intended for psychologists,
social workers, mental health counselors, and
other mental health professionals who have
already had exposure to the DBT skills covered
in the first edition of Dr. Linehan’s Skills
Training Manual for Treating Borderline
Personality Disorder. While some of these new
strategies can be used independently of the
previous skills, a good working knowledge of
them is important for successfully incorporating
the new skills into your practice.
FRIDAY, MAY 6TH, 2016 9 AM – 4:30 PM
Italian Cultural Centre; Trattoria Hall
3075 Slocan St Vancouver BC
Part 2 of this training—Interpersonal

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
The publication of the 2nd edition of Dr. Marsha Linehan’s DBT Skills
Training Manual in 2015 greatly expanded the skills available for assisting
clients struggling with a range of psychological problems. The second
edition is more than 4 times the length of the first and includes a booklet
of new handouts. This special 2-part training will explore many of the
new DBT skills. Some of the topics will include ways to deepen clients'
(and clinicians') understanding of mindfulness, strategies for building new
relationships and ending destructive ones, methods to move forward in
valued directions in life, problem-solving skills, and strategies for use in
helping clients better manage addictions.
Dr. Alex Chapman,
R. Psych., is the
President of the DBT
Centre and Coordinator of
the Clinical Science area in
the Department of
Psychology at Simon
Fraser University (SFU).
Full bio.
Part one of this workshop will focus on the new mindfulness and distress
tolerance skills. In the area of mindfulness skills, the workshop will
provide guidance on how to understand and address mindfulness from a
spiritual perspective, how to use mindfulness to increase compassion and
wisdom, and how to walk the middle path by balancing "being mind"
with "doing mind". Some of the newer distress tolerance skills include
effective methods for reducing extreme emotions quickly and a variety of
techniques for working with addictions.
Dr. John Wagner,
